I would rather say that KBW is quite a strong engraving to go for tbh, in my view Raid Captain or Increase Mass would fit better your definition of “fill in” engraving
IM/raid captain/grudge/Adre and 1EO are already must have so that why i said KBW is the last pick
My build is x3 for Grudge / Adrenaline / KBW and x1 for EO. My next x3 is going to be Raid Captain for another +18% DMG to all. (Hit Master is only 16%, and doesn’t include back attack, which are big burst skill for Soulfist even if we only have a few)
raid captain is a good choice for your next engraving, the Hit Master buildi’m talking about is replace Merciless Pummel with Energy Blast or Tempest Blast if you already have EB in your skill set, because of the dmg of EB are same as MP now
Currently I’m using Dominion Fang 2set along with 4 pieces of argos which gives me +15%, Lostwind Cliff with +7%, base crit rate of around 483 which is 17.28% and adrenaline with 15% at max stacks.
This adds up to about 55% and with crit syn I can hit 60%, and with 4 set of Hallucination I can essentially do the same crit rate, but now I have a different question - is it worth it to forgo the 6set Dominion Fang for a 2set Dominion Fang and 4set Hallucination? Personally I think it would be worth it because you are using KBW for 50% damage with the 60% crit efficiency while if you didn’t have the crit rate and used something else like Raid Captain along with your 6set you wouldn’t hit the numbers that you would on the KBW crit set
I use Tempest Blast, Energy Blast, Merciless Plummel, Deadly Finger, Force Orb and Crippling Barrier as main DPS skills. For Legion raid I trade crippling barrier for a counter skill.
How does your build works ? Im curious
don’t use deadly finger, that skill is for pvp not doing much dmg in pve, try to keep bolting crash in your skill set because it give 6% atk for all party member with 100% uptime

you gain 15% crit with hallu 4pcs and 18% cdr 10% skill dmg from domi 2pcs but you losing dmg from either dominion 6 or hallu 6
I’ll send mine later, not at the office rn.
Do you have DoT ? I choose Deadly Finger over Heavenly Squash because I prefer the movement, it fits better with what im looking for. I use burning hand on it (fire DMG) and I have my epic bleed equipped. I have 3 different avenue for criting. Same concept apply to Merciless Plummel with Legendary bleed.
let make it easy for you to compare:
…Merciless Pummel, Energy Blast: Highest dmg
…Force Orb, Heavenly Squash, Crippling Barrier, Tempest Blast, Shadow Breaker: Below other 2 skill but higher dmg than all other skill and having decent or low countdown too
…Galewind Rune is a much for Merciless Pummel and Energy Blast
this is what i use

I know the scale of the skills ^^ just I like to play around and make my build mine, if that make sense.
I like Shadowbreaker a lot, might swicth Deadly Finger for it one day, that would add on some weak point to my build.
Legendary Overwhelm on Energy Blast ))
Nice runes ! I would switch Rage and Quick recharge but thats it. I’ll send mine later so you can see
Edit : double thought, for raid and such having your set up for Rage and Quick Recharge is more effective. But for content on your own or of lower requirements per say I would switch them ))
no problem, replace deadly finger with shadowbreaker will help you a lot more, using Rage rune is just a rng temporary solution to maximize Raid Captain in every skill circle
So I tried doing some calculations with what was discussed, and I’m not sure if the calculations were correct, but IF I am running
Mass Increase, Adrenaline, Raid Captain, Grudge and Keen Blunt Weapon, all at level 3, Dominion Fang 6 set is the best choice. (This is the second from the top)
If I were to run Mass Increase, Adrenaline, Raid Captain, Grudge and Cursed Doll instead, and with Dominion Fang, the damage there would be similar, and more consistent due to the fact that KBW requires crit synergy to out damage this build. (This is the third build from the top).
Anything that runs Hallucination instead of Dominion Fang seems to deal less damage overall, so I don’t think I will be running that.
Correct my calulations if I’m wrong please, I don’t mind being wrong for more dps lol
it’s a bit wrong because 2/4pcs dominion bonus are skill dmg, only 6pcs are dmg output, and you forgot the most important of dominion set is 18% cdr
i will use my sf stats as example
my base cdr from swiftness are 35% + 18% dominion + 14% lv7 gem + 10% hype 2 + lv4 quick prep tripod → my energy release is about 9-10s cd, i will try to get higher cdr gem, lv5 tripod, more swiftness in the future (1631 atm) to reduce it till about 7s to keep the buff basically all the time, that is the reason why i use dominion
So assuming I use 6 dominion set, do you think Energy Overflow 1, Increase Mass 3, Raid Captain 3, Grudge 3 is better off with Cursed Doll or Keen Blunt Weapon? I like the possibility of KBW outdamaging Cursed Doll with Crit Synergy and with later on higher stats which will boost the crit stat as well, overall increasing the output of the KBW build.
kbw way better than CD in that situation
